Was it raw POS tagged data or just raw data? can you share the code /
process you used?

Re: synonym dictionaries of person names

I've built one before from raw data but you need:
1) a *lot* of data
2) a unique ID per person
3) some noise/variation in the names recorded for each person

The input is of this form:

personID   recorded_name
===  =
1   Rob
1   Robert
1   Bob
2   Dave
2   David
2   Alice
...

The output is a weighted graph of name<->variant e.g Robert== Bob with a 
strong confidence rating.
Using this I know not just real names but also typos e.g. that "Janes" is 
more likely to be "James" than "Jane" (a common typo due to key locations 
on keyboard).

synonym dictionaries of person names

2015-01-28 Thread David Kemp
I am looking for synonym dictionaries of person names that I can use with 
the Elasticsearch synonym analyser.
e.g. dictionaries that map "Ted" to "Edward", and "Bill" to "William".
I am curious to know what others are using.
So far I have found these two possible sources:

https://code.google.com/p/nickname-and-diminutive-names-lookup/downloads/list
https://github.com/DallanQ/Names/wiki/Name-variant-files

And perhaps
http://www.behindthename.com

Thanks,
David
